FREE Zoom class: Tricks for Writing a Perfect Sentence

One week from tonight!

Hi!

This is your reminder that I’m offering this one-hour Zoom class on September 25 at 7 p.m. Central (that’s 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific, the middle of the night in Europe, etc). It’s free for paid subscribers to the newsletter.

I’m a novelist and award-winning essayist whose work appears in the New York Times, the Guardian, Washington Post, Harper’s, Bon Appetit, and many other publications. For over two decades, I have been working as a teacher of creative writing on the college, graduate, and adult-education levels.

Join us and learn how to write a sentence that will grab the reader by the throat. You will feel zero pressure, have fun, meet a few people, and leave excited to write. This class is for all writers, whether your ideas are only in your head or you’ve been cranking out stories for years.

I offer these free writing workshops quarterly as a token of gratitude to my paid subscribers on Substack. If you’re not a paid subscriber, but would like to come to class, you can either sign up and pay a one-time fee ($25) or purchase a subscription to this newsletter for $5 a month. (Paid subscribers, find the free-class link behind the paywall below.) Please share this post with anyone you know who might be interested. Can’t wait to see you on the 25th!

This is the sign-up link for those who wish to pay only for the class.
